Maritime search and rescue as everyone’s responsibility

Australian Journal of Maritime & Ocean Affairs, 2011
In the debate over asylum seeker boat arrivals, some attention has been directed at the circumstances under which people journey to Australia - specifically the small boats in which they cross the expanse of ocean before ever reaching our shores. This journey is necessarily a dangerous one, and large numbers of individuals have lost their lives.

Determination of search areas for maritime search and rescue operations

OCEAN 75 Conference, 1975
A new technique for determining the search area for maritime search and rescue operations is presented. This technique, which is based on a statistical description of the uncertainties in determining the drift track of a life raft, offers significant improvement over current, deterministic techniques.

Target detection of maritime search and rescue: Saliency accumulation method

2012 9th International Conference on Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Discovery, 2012
Target detection using visual image sequence is an important task of maritime search and rescue. A novel saliency accumulation approach is proposed. Each frame of image sequence is firstly transformed to LAB space. The saliency maps for two color channels and intensity channel are obtained by spectral residual in frequency domain and the local saliency

Vessel Location Modeling for Maritime Search and Rescue

2015
The location-allocation problem serves to deploy assets effectively to respond to a known or estimated geographically distributed demand for service, including providing emergency services. At first glance, the rescue vessel location problem in the Search and Rescue (SAR) domain is similar to the emergency vehicle location problem such as for ambulance

Maritime search and rescue: Benefit or burden for society?

WMU Journal of Maritime Affairs, 2007
Just twenty five years have passed since the International Maritime Organization (IMO) provided the legal and internationally harmonized framework for maritime search and rescue operations. While a number of nations only had to adapt their well-established national services it took great efforts for other nations to develop agencies able to fulfil or ...

Research on Maritime Search and Rescue Decision-Making Ontology Model

2009 International Conference on Environmental Science and Information Application Technology, 2009
The work of maritime search and rescue is involved with many areas. Accordingly, search and rescue decision-making systems need to deal with a wide range of information, which results in a large number of heterogeneous data. One common problem is the semantic heterogeneous.

Toward an international database for maritime search and rescue

Journal of Emergency Management
This paper* develops a concept of the world’s first international database (DB) of maritime search and rescue (SAR). It expands on Rovetto’s earlier work, summarizing work to date, envisioning possible directions, introducing use cases, foreshadowing ongoing developments, and calling for greater cooperation from the global SAR community.
